Rainbow Sherbet Dress

This was such a fun project. My dear sweet friend Darlene is hosting a Crafty Secrets challenge on PCP. We were to make a spring project with any CS goodies we had. Well my favorite CS goodie is a chipboard dress form. I didn't have any so I used this template: HERE I scored my white background. Hard to tell in a photo. Used my new scissors on the bottom that I got from my great friend Gloria. I used my new dp from SU called Rainbow Sherbet. This stuff is FUN...

I am going to send this to my niece. I am making her an Easter dress. I will include this in the package. I miss her so much.

Hugs,

Pepe Le Pew

I created this card for the CCEE blog challenge. The challenge was to use a skunk image. I love Pepe Le Pew. He just cracks me up. I used the TLC challenge on SCS. Use rubberbands to make a background. This image is a clipart I found on the internet. Got a little carried away with his blushed cheeks. But still love him. I am sending this to my DD. Have a great day..

FS107 Jami (Sgtstamper)

I cased this card from Jami's gallery on SCS. She is today's FS. I actually didn't realize it but I cased a card she cased of mine when I was the featured stamper. Such a special day.. She is so deserving. I love this image. I think Sarah Kay's Margeaux is so inspiring. I colored with GooGone and added the computer generated sentiment.

I am off to stamp a bunch of clean and simple cards for my dear friend Michelle. She sends cards to chemo kids and their parents. As I was sitting in church today I was inspired by this Bible verse..Be generous with your time, talents and your treasures, for where your treasures are, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:19-21. Hope it inspires you too

This stamp set is so lovely. It is one of the new releases from Our Daily Bread. They have such great quality stamps. I sponged Baja Breeze onto Very Vanilla for the background. I kept it simple. No ribbon or glitz. Such a beautiful Bible verse.

Laughter


I had so much fun creating this card.. My new year's resolution is to weigh less. I am not going to say those nasty words lose weight.. I found this sentiment on a google search for weight loss. Thought it was appropriate for the card.. I was so excited when I Brake For Stamps added this to their store as a sample.. She is really suppose to be laying down but I thought this looked more like me.. I am happy to say I am 15 lbs down..
Thanks for visiting,
